14 of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg‘s private photos have been hacked and posted online!
The photos which appeared online yesterday were uploaded along with the message:
“It’s time to fix those security flaws Facebook”
The ‘flaw’ the hackers are referring to is the new Facebook feature that allows users to report inappropriate images.
Pictures leaked include Zuckerberg with Obama, Zuckerberg with missus preparing food and our personal favourite… Zuckerberg holding upside down chicken.
In a statement, social giants Facebook had this to say:
“Earlier today, we discovered a bug in one of our reporting flows that allows people to report multiple instances of inappropriate content simultaneously,” the firm said in a statement.
“The bug allowed anyone to view a limited number of another user’s most recently uploaded photos irrespective of the privacy settings for these photos.
“This was the result of one of our recent code pushes and was live for a limited period of time. Upon discovering the bug, we immediately disabled the system, and will only return functionality once we can confirm the bug has been fixed,”
Hackers were able to access Zuckerberg’s account due to a loophole that allowed users to view an entire album when marking just one of them as inappropriate.
